I love that album! I'm listening to Free Form by Donald Byrd now. I never heard anything by Benny Golson (well, not knowingly anyway) but I will get my hands on some.

This is an emergency! If you want to be totally blown away by the most audacious, powerful and raw trumpet playing you’ll probably ever hear, get (for example) John Coltrane’s 1957 album Blue Trane. Don’t focus on Coltrane for a change (who is of course transcendent)… Listen to Morgan, and remind yourself as you encounter the intense heat and urgency of his trumpet playing on one of the greatest jazz trumpet solos ever recorded (the title track) that this is a 19 year old you’re listening to, who’d only been playing the trumpet for five years, and that he was already rapidly getting well established as a player.

Do get his work with Blakey, for sure. He's a sideman with a bunch of other people too, but he is so interesting as a player that you get an awful lot of Lee in every case! -cvj Well, start with The Sidewinder (pretty much his signature tune and album), and go from there!

Coltrane is not as dominant there as in most of his other albums, which is perhaps related to your fondness for that album. I hadn't realized Lee Morgan played there, now I am definitely motivated to get some albums where he is the leader, any recommendations? Isn’t it blue train?
